Flexible exoskeleton for arm rehabilitation training of patients with shoulder subluxation

Abstract

Provided is a flexible exoskeleton for arm rehabilitation training of patients with shoulder subluxation. The exoskeleton comprises an upper limb flexible binding device worn on the upper limbs of a human body, a power driving device for driving the movement of the upper limb flexible binding device and a transmission device connected between the power driving device and the upper limb flexible binding device, and the upper limb flexible binding device comprises a forearm sleeve, a rotator cuff and a cross binding strap. According to the wearable upper limb flexible exoskeleton robot, the positions of shoulder joints are fixed and corrected by flexible binding of the upper limbs, and the upper arm movement of the human body is driven to assist the patients with the shoulder subluxation totrain upper limb functions to improve the activity capability of daily living so that the upper limbs can conduct antexion and external extension actions.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical devices, in particular to a flexible exoskeleton used for arm rehabilitation training of patients with shoulder joint subluxation. Background technique [0002] Hemiplegia, also known as hemiplegia, refers to movement disorders of the upper and lower muscles, facial muscles and lower tongue muscles on one side, usually caused by stroke, and is a common symptom of acute cerebrovascular disease. At present, there are approximately 5 to 6 million stroke patients in my country, and 3 / 4 of the survivors have varying degrees of disability and loss of working ability, need long-term care, exercise rehabilitation training, and suffer from hemiplegia caused by stroke. There are often complications of shoulder joint subluxation, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of nursing work and sports rehabilitation training.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Exoskeleton robots used for the recovery of upper limb motor function of hemiplegic patients can provide heavy nursing work for nurses. At present, most exoskeleton robots for the rehabilitation of upper limb motor function of hemiplegic patients adopt a rigid structure of the whole body, which has a large overall mass and is harmful to the shoulder joint. Due to insufficient protection and complex structure, it cannot be safely and conveniently used for upper limb motor function recovery training in patients with shoulder subluxation. Therefore, a new exoskeleton robot that can solve such problems is needed.
